Gurus, what is the problem with this code ?

We don’t know what problem do you have. How can we imagine?

What are you trying to do and what isn’t working?

I can’t read it when it’s not in a code block? :-0)

Ok … I am so sorry about that. It was not easy to understand.
Let me try to explain … I need call a function which is declared into the config.js. However, this is impossible. Nothing appeared on the screen. I did not find any example using a function call. Is it clear ?

var full  = "";

function LoadData() {

full = "Hello";

}

$( document ).ready(function() {
	LoadData();
});

As I’ve written in your other post, jQuery is not included as a default. You did a try to use jQuery($(document).ready())

@sean Tks again … I am newb with MM, so I think that it is not possible to create a function in the config.js … I think that this will not work. because the next step I will need to call an api from config.js to get some data from mysql.
In my test using a config.js out the MM system, I could call the api, but I think that this is not possible in the MM. Am I right ? Tks

config.js is not for your custom job. leave it.
When you want to do something your own, create module.
Read the manual.

• https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/blob/master/modules/README.md

And see how other modules work;

• https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/3rd-party-modules

You can start by modifying any simple module as your wish.

one more thing;
config.js is validated when MM is booted up, not rendered. maybe you can put some codes in config.js but that would not be working as your expectation.
